Chakkakuru-Manga Curry (Jack Fruit Seed and Raw Mango in Coconut Gravy)

Its Jack fruit time........ :) Most of the Keralites are experimenting variety dishes from jack fruit and its seed. Even if we are staying out of Kerala, we managed to get 12-15 jack fruit flesh, that we finished it in no time, but I kept the seed to make some gravy with mango, which is a popular dish in Central Travancore.

  • Jack fruit Seed - 12-15 nos: (remove the outer skin and the brown skin and cut into pieces)
  • Mango - 1 small (cut into pieces)

  • Garlic - 4-5 petals
  • Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Red Chilli - 2 nos:
  • Curry Leaves - as required
  • Salt - as required
Preparation Method
  1. Grind together coconut, green chilli, garlic, cumin seeds to a fine paste by adding some water and keep aside.
  2. In a deep bottom pan cook well jack fruit seed and mango by adding 1 cup of water and turmeric powder.
  3. Once the jack fruit seed is cooked and coconut paste and salt and mix well.
  4. Add water if the gravy is too thick. (the gravy will thicken even after removing from flame also).
  5. Keep the lid closed and cook for another 5mins: in medium flame and remove from flame.
  6. In a wok bring oil to heat and splutter mustard seeds, red chilli and curry leaves and pour this over the jack fruit seed-mango gravy and keep the lid closed for 5-10mins:
  7. Open the lid, mix well and serve the yummy Chakkakuru-Manga Curry with rice.
